Entered at the Postoffce '\ .. berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, February 23, 1912. The Rock Hill Herald writes abou a knocker as if there were any knock ers in that live town. Surely you ar< not infested with the varmints. Ed DeCamp has rounded out 1( years with the Gaffney Ledger. Here', hoping him mighty well and man years of good health and prosperity. All indications point to a lively tim( during the coming summer in the po. litical field. Pity we have to have s( many political years. The candidates are showing up it many of the counties. There is plen ty of time yet: Better wait until the legislature adjourns-that is if it does not intend to hold open until just be fore the meeting of the next session following the example of the 'suprem( court. The weather has been decidedly fa vorable to the making of those on( hundred split log draga for which Mr J. C. Neel promised to furnish the log, if the supervisor would have the worl done. They could be used to great ad Vantage when the rains stop and the sun comes out again, as it will in a few days. " It is said now that in many coun" ties straight Blease. End anti-BleasE ticket- will be put out for the legis lature the coming summer. We doubt if that would be wise, but we do be lieve that many of those who are now in the legislature will not be returned. They have played the game of politics a little too strong. The apartanhurg Hierald s&ys the legislature took a recess to give time to think up something else they could do to Gov. Blease. Is that the reason some of -the members want to recess until the latter part of May'? We were under the iAipression that some of the members, at least, were of the opin ion that they had already done him a plenty. Frequently we print an editorial from an exchange, in such cases the name of the paper from which it is clipped appears at the beginning of the article. It is, of course, under stood, that in such cases the editor of the Medium did not write the article, but generally we agree with the sen timents expressed in them.-Abbeville Medium. It would be a good idea to print op posing views so that your readers might have both sides of the Question and be able to form their own opin ions. LOYALTY. Loyalty to those whom they are serving has often won distinction for many in the business world. A man who is loyal to his duty is destined to rise higher in life, until he has at tained the goal, which he has set out to reach. A loyal man is worth his weight in gold and people should not fail to appreciate him. When it comes to loyalty, we believe that the people, who make it possible for th'e world to get newspapers each and every day are paramount. From the editor we learn, oftentimes, les sons in loyalty and when it comes to the mechanical force we find men who are willing to work overtime without rest in order to give the people the news, and last, but not least, the faith ful little news boys, God bless them; who plod their way through rain, sleet and snow, in order to decliver the pa pers containing the news of the day. Have you ever thouzght of the little new boys how faithful they are in their humble way, and how many men have risen~ from news boys to the *greatest men the wgql has ever pro duced? In their childhood they learn the lesson of faithfulness and by prac ticing it through life their efforts are often crowned with success.--Green wood Journal. What the Journal says is very true. It is also true that no one has any right moral or legal to remain with any institution to which he can not be loyal he will be the greatest sufferer. The tribute to the newsboy is de served. That is, where he is faithful 'and loyal. A newspaper office is a good school in more ways than one. The man or woman who works in any establishment and keeps an eye on the clock and the time may decide to be nothing more than a time maker. Such an one can never hope to rise above the position occupied and will be fortunate to retain that position. +A man in any position should do his best always. EDITORIAL... ... ... .. -. ... .. ENERGY AND WISDOM. The following incident related in the Creensboro News of Sunday oc curred in the lobby of the Blue Ridge hotel of this city: Dr. J. T. J. Battle, who recently re turned from a business trip to Green ville, S. C., tells a very interesting story of an industrious South' Caro lina lad, a story the counter part of which is seldom to be found. Dr. Battle, with a number of other gentlemen, were sitting in the hotel lobby around a warm stove one even ing when they were approached by a boy whose arm encircled a bundle of the Saturday Evening Post. The boy went to Dr. Battle first and said: "Let me sell you a Post." "What is it worth?" asked Dr. Battle. "Five cents," the young salesman replied. "What are you going to do with the money?" "I am going to give one-tenth of it to the church, and the rest I am going to put in the b4nk," replied the youth. Dr. Battle purchased a Post and the .boy went to each of the other gentlemen around the stove and then off into another part of the lobby.! While he was gone, a big nian, who had been in the circle about the stove and who had been among the last ap proached and who also had not pur chased a paper, got up and changed! his seat, and as it so happened, took. a seat that was directly in the way of the boy, who was making his rounds of the lobby. The boy not remember ing that the man had refused once to buy the paper, stopped when he came to 'n - g and said: "Let me sell you a Post. ITag g mian loo~kediu n in some irritation said: "I told you one time that I didn't want a paper. Here, take this nickle. I'll give it to you just to get shut of you.''" The boy drew back in pride. "I don't want you to give me anything, and I won't take it. Let me sell you~ a Post," and with that he shoved theI paper~ straight toward the man. "But I don't want one."~ "Let me sell you one for your fath "My father livies several hundred I miles from here," "Let me sell you one for your mother." "My mother is dead." "Then let me sell you one for your 1friend," said the persistent youngster. "I've got no friend around here," ieplied the obstinate man. "Then sir," the boy, triumphantly, "let me sell you a paper so you can give it to somebody and make a1 friend out of him." The entire crowd of gentlemen greeted the words of this born little South Carolina statesman with a round of hearty applause, and the conquered big man, with the best smile he could muster, bought a paper. "What did that boy tell you he did with his money?" a 'gentleman of Greenville later asked Dr. Battle. "He told me he gave a tenth of it to the church and put the rest of it in the bank," replied Dr. Battle. "Well, sir, he was telling you the truth. He is the son of a prominent1 citizen here and is one of the bright Iest boys in the city. He is only seven er s oh!. goes to school, and sells pa *ers in his spare time. He has.bought a lot here in town and has it nearly paid for.". Any a tempt to embellish that story with comment would be as futile as trying to improve the tints of the rain This is a good story and needs no Iembellishment, as the Piedmont truly says. We print it in the hope that it Ia [may be a lesson and a help and an in-- C Ispiration to some other boy. C The lesson is not so much thepe sistency with which the boy pressed I the sale of his paper, but how he t takes care of his earnings. Most boys can make money, but few learn to I take care of it.C b GHOHETER S PELLS La~ d ies? As'k yo.

There is a great truth in the lines quoted above that many of us might learn with profit. The sentiment is true. It is sweet. If we would all realize it.now it would save many sad regrets after it is too late. A few kind words while we live are worth a whole wagon load of hot house flow nrs strewn upon our graves after we' are gone beyond the reach of human sympathy and human aid. And here is another sentiment that too many of the boys and young men who go out in the world do not remember and -aus"e many sleepless nights in the old homestead far away, when >a few lov ing words sent would be so welcome. We too often forget the finer sensibili ties of life and thus cause unneces ;arily heartaches that could so easily be avoided. Read it and put it in your scrap book: Before It is Too Late.

Too nany of our young people' read noth ng but the baseball and sporting >ages of the papers .and the cheap fic :ion of the day. They do not find the tandard writers interesting. When rou think for a moment of the great >ossibilities wrapped up in one bhoy rou begin to realize the great responsi ility resting upon you in the proper raining of that boy. Speaking of a oy reminds me of the following which [read the other day in a newspaper. hope every boy who gets this paper ill read it and that the~ truth which t contains will be burned deep into 1us soul. TIhis man knows what he is alking about. -0 "Judge Ben Lindsey gives this tes imony: 'I have been in the juvenile ~ourt ten years, and in that time I ave had to deal with thousands and housands of boys who have disgraced hemselves and their parents and who iave brought sorrow and misery into heir lives; and I do not know of any ne habit that is more responsible for he~ troubles of these boys than the ~ile cigarette habit. No pure-minded, tonest, manly, brave, gentle boy will moke cigarettes.'" " I passed down toward the court1 touse the other day and I saw a lady uperintending th.e digging of some It ig holes in the ground. I suppose it eans that the civic association is ~oing to have some trees planted out n the grounds. I am giad that the ivic association is not dead.

I could not help wonder- I rig why the association didi not et af- i: er the superivgsor and have a walk I rade so that court house could be f eached without wading through mudd ver your shoes. And I wondered, too, 13 the association had ever noticed that ti eautiful drive-way alongside the c rotw.cll hotel.
